SynopsisAgainst the background of worldwide development, this book provides a fascinating and comprehensive guide of both past and current approaches to the design of a wide range of movable bridges., Movable Bridge Design provides a fascinating and comprehensive guide of both past and current approaches to the design of a wide range of movable bridges. Against the background of worldwide development, the author provides the necessary information on the mechanical systems that drive movable bridges. A wide range of structures are explored in an accessible format to be used at a practical level. Key topics of focus are: Design specifications and standards Machinery required to operate and stabilise movable spans Traditional and non-traditional superstructure forms Materials of construction Material strength and failure Examples of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical systems Movable Bridge Design considers both city and rural movable bridges by providing worldwide examples, as well as discussing the various forms of motive power. This is an essential purchase to inform and guide engineers, engineering consultants, and administrators of governmental agencies, as well as students from these disciplines., Movable Bridge Designprovides a fascinating and comprehensive guide of both past and current approaches to the design of a wide range of movable bridges.

This is an essential purchase to inform and guide engineers, engineering consultants, and administrators of governmental agencies, as well as students from these disciplines., This is a comprehensive guide which focuses on the design of the most commonly found movable bridge varieties, and also provides information on the mechanical systems which generate the movement - an area with which most bridge design engineers are less familiar, but require knowledge of in order to design effective structures of this type. Movable Bridge Design is a unique reference on past and current structural, mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic design for engineers in, or about to enter, this interdisciplinary field. It offers comprehensive coverage of all of the most common movable bridge types, provides key information on the mechanical systems which drive the bridges and how this impacts on design considerations.
